Church representatives gathered Tuesday at Lehighton Ford to pick up the food items for distribution to 10 needy families in their congregations. With the sun shining and plenty of helping hands, the distribution took only minutes to complete.

"We are here to pass our good fortune on to others who have a need. We have called all of you together to help us help others," said Kent Newhart, CEO and owner of Lehighton Ford.

Kuhn said he is thankful for the business partnership that allows him to help others.

"This means a lot to partner with you," said Kuhn, as he turned toward Newhart. "We're here in the community and we're here to help the community. It gives me a good feeling to come together for a common cause. Without the community, we wouldn't be here."

Newhart said that the project to provide food to 100 families created a wave of good feelings among the employees of Lehighton Ford.

"This is a good project," said Newhart. "We are happy to be partnering with Frank and the local churches. We are offering a hand up. It means a lot to the employees of Lehighton Ford to partner with Mallard Market to help the local churches reach out to their congregations."
